Northrop Grumman picked Kenneth L. Bedingfield to be vice president of business management and chief financial officer for the sector, and Peggy Nelson will be vice president of engineering and global product development for the sector.

Bedingfield will lead business management and the integration of sector financial and business strategies. Nelson is responsible for efforts to deliver more reliable, sustainable and affordable products.

Keith Littlefield has become chief technology officer at TASC Inc., where he has assumed leadership of the company’s technology strategy, and now oversees its independent research and development and technical fellows programs.

Littlefield was formerly chief information officer at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.

Tom and Tony Asefi are back with a new strategy and focus in the market. Before the two brothers sold GAITS Inc. to FedCap Partners in 2012, they created ACI, a company that focuses on the commercial IT market.

At ACI, they are co-CEOs, and are using the company as a platform with which to go after the federal health care market, specifically in the telemedicine arena, by creating ACI-Fed.

Their plan is to work as a systems integrator, tying together various IT and communications products and services to serve patients who may live hours from the closest Veterans Affairs facility.

MicroTech named two executives as part of an effort to work through sequestration challenges involving federal spending cuts. The company named Lynn Wasylina chief financial officer, and Bill Collins senior vice president of Product Solutions.

Wasylina came to MicroTech from PAE, where she served as corporate controller. Collins came from GTSI Corp., where he was vice president of sales.

Dewberry named Ryan Hughes principal consultant of cloud services, where he is now responsible for designing and delivering cloud solutions to the company’s commercial, local, state and federal government customers.

Hughes was previously the co-founder and chief strategy officer of Skygone, which is a cloud firm focused on geospatial applications.

In the beginning of March, GTSI Corp.’s chief operating officer, Jeremy Wensinger, left the company, leaving some mystery in his wake. He declined to comment on his departure, and GTSI didn’t say anything either.

Just a couple days later, though, things got much clearer when the GTSI Corp. announced that it was being rebranded Unicom Government Inc. With Wensinger gone, Corry Hong, Unicom’s founder, president and CEO, Hong took the role of CEO of the new Unicom Government.

March 2013 was also swarming with news about Linda Gooden’s departure. While it was announced earlier, Editor Nick Wakeman kept it fresh with a two-part exit interview in which she shared both the lessons of her career, and what her plans are for the future.

Layoffs, buyouts at Lockheed and SAIC

There wasn’t just news of executive departures, though; unfortunately, a couple layoff announcements were made by both Lockheed Martin and SAIC.
